CHARLEY BRIDGES.\n(Filed 12 December, 1928.)\nAppeal by plaintiff from MacRae, Special Judge, at August Term, 1928, of Cleveland.\nCivil action to recover damages for an alleged negligent killing of plaintiff\u2019s dog.\nThe evidence tends to show that \u201cLucy was a sweet-voiced fox hound, with an unerring scent and vibrant tongue, that always gave full mouth to the chase. She was a good, regular runner, and kept track all the time and gave plenty of mouth and got up in front with the good dogs.\u201d The defendant ran over her with his automobile and killed her, as she was crossing the road in front of plaintiff\u2019s house.\nThe appeal is from a judgment of nonsuit, entered at the close of plaintiff\u2019s evidence.\nB. T. Falls for plaintiff.\nNewton & Newton for defendant."
